The IBSS Tab

If you, as a creator of the wireless network, are communicating with other stations via the IBSS

(802.11 Ad-hoc) mode to form peer-to-peer networks, click the

IBSS

(

ndependent

asic

ervice

et) tab to specify an operating radio frequency channel from the pull-down list under the

IBSS

Channel Selection

section.

Note: Choosing the IBSS Channel command from the right-click menu of PRISM Configuration Utility

tray icon will launch this tab too.

Note that the available channels differ from country to country, and the channel number must be the

same between the entries/stations within the range, so that each can communicate with each other.

Or you may simply click

Defaults

to automatically determine the channel number for you. When

done, click

Apply

to activate the new configuration.

On the other hand, while in the

Access Point

mode, you will find the channel number is the same

as the associated access point. Thus, there’s no need to manually set the value.
